Does a new car need inspection in the second year?

According to regulations, a new car definitely requires annual inspection in the second year. The standard inspection procedure involves taking the vehicle to a testing station for checks (lights, tires, emissions, etc.), and then obtaining the inspection sticker after passing. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Overview: Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
In the second year of a new car, you don't need to queue up at the inspection station for vehicle testing, but remember to apply for the inspection exemption mark, which is now electronic. I just completed the process at the DMV, and the procedure is super simple: log in to the Traffic Management 12123 APP, upload the compulsory traffic insurance policy and the vehicle and vessel tax certificate, and the system will automatically review it. If you find it troublesome, the DMV counter can handle it in just five minutes. However, be aware that if your car has modified headlights or exhaust systems, or has been involved in an accident causing personal injury, you'll need to undergo an on-site inspection. My neighbor learned this the hard way—his modified wheels weren't registered, and he made a wasted trip.
